First Cabin於2009年在大阪開設第一間據點,以飛機頭等艙為設計概念,打造出獨特的膠囊旅館體驗。2021年以「STAY SMART」為品牌重新定位,不同於傳統膠囊旅館的狹小空間,膠囊寬度達120公分,高度210公分,讓人能舒適地站立與活動,每間都配備32吋電視、Wi-Fi、控制面板與保險箱,在有限的空間中提供最大舒適度。
First Cabin品牌最大特色就是將航空業的服務精神融入住宿體驗中。男女分區設計不僅確保住客隱私與安全,各樓層都需要刷卡進入,提供如同航空貴賓室般的專屬感受。雖然基於簡易住宿法規的限制,客室採用捲簾而非傳統房門設計,但完善的隔音設計與貼心的服務細節,包括免費提供耳塞等,都展現了品牌對住客體驗的重視。
「New premium capsule hotel in Seoul. I know the branding from Japan since it's a chain. Hotel is located on 7F Noon Square. I did not have problem finding the place but if it would be better if they have visual instructions sent beforehand on how to access the B1F elevator/entrance so people who's first time staying on their place would know how to get in there since noon square opens at 11am-10pm only. Getting to the hotel is very accessible with 6015 limousine bus or if taking subway, euljiro1ga or myeongdong is just a good walking distance.
I booked business cabin and it's fairly spacious for me. Bed is on a harder side and with one very soft pillow I had to fold to get some proper angle when I sleep. Cabin has a fan but only one desk light. Not sure if they are yet to install lights per cabin. The curtain (at least for business) is annoying to roll up and down. They provide basic amenities during your stay and I think you can request new towels if you are staying longer. Men and women areas are on different side with ID access so you are safe. Open kitchen have coffee machine, water dispenser and basic items you can use. You can stay on the lounge too if the open kitchen is full. Alternatively, you can hang out on sky terrace as well as it is open 24 hours. Sky terrace has a good view and good place to chill and unwind.
Only comment I wish they can improve on is to check cleaning of toilet/showers. Tissues ran out every late night and morning of my stay and rubbish are all full. Not sure how often they do the cleaning of this area. Also, there is no quiet time reminder on cabin areas. It's a bummer some of the guests are talking loud even past 12am. And since there is no door and only curtains, you can hear people talking clearly.
Staffs were all kind and approachable. Overall, would recommend for people to stay!」
